The Meta ConversationI don't know when or why I switched to Letter Grades when rating movies. I actually don't like letter grades. In college I created perfectly workable guidelines for a 5 Star Rating System and I used that system for 15 years. So why am I stuck on Letter Grades now?
You should use my system of not rating. It's pointless.
It probably has something to do with the lack of Asuperplusses in star ratings.
I don't even bother to write reviews most of the time...
It can be difficult to judge a conversation, especially one found in a thread related to all things meta. This conversation managed to jump out at me because of it's depth, but also it's odd structure, so emblematic of the way conversation unfold on the Filmspotting Forum. One person after another adds something to the stream of consciousness and without proper context it can all come across as a jumbled blur or meaningless blather. And yet, even amidst all the attempts at poignancy, sarcasm and cleverness rest the heart and soul of it all. Four people, talking about nothing, tangentially related to film, but mostly a form of delightful verbal masturbation (and maybe other forms of masturbation nobody is privy to).
